-<BODY>
-Contains collection implementations that use primitive elements. Currently
-the package offers lists of primitive elements that are backed by primitive
-arrays, offering substantial memory and performance savings.<p>
-
-There are generally two layers of abstract per primitive list type. The
-first layer, implemented by the <Code>Abstract*List</Code> classes, provides
-default implementations for all of the <Code>java.util.List</Code> methods
-and most of their primitive counterparts. The second layer of abstraction,
-implemented by the <Code>Abstract*ArrayList</Code> classes, provides
-additional method signatures for manipulating a list that's backed by a
-primitive array.<p>
-
-Note that these layers are not provided for <Code>FloatArrayList</Code>,
-and that many primitive types are not represented in this package at all;
-these inconsistencies may be addressed by a future release.

+ <p>
+ Collections that are based upon primitive
+ types. Generally these extensions offer memory
+ and performance improvements over the
+ <code>Object</code> wrapped alternative.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The package provides (or will provide) versions of
+ the major collections framework interfaces
+ (<code>Collection</code>, <code>List</code>,
+ <code>Map</code>, <code>Set</code>) and their
+ helpers (<code>Iterator</code>, <code>ListIterator</code>,
+ etc) for each primitive type, and various concrete
+ implementations of these.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Adapters are provided for converting between the
+ primitive and object based versions of the collections
+ framework.
